After working together in Masti franchise, Riteish Deshmukh and Vivek Oberoi have teamed up again for Bank Chor. Directed by Bumpy, the film narrates the story of three amateur bank robbers, Champak (Riteish), Genda (Vikram Thapa) and Gulab (Bhuvan Arora), who plan a theft at the wrong time and cop Amjad Khan (Vivek), who is here to save the bank and money, of course.

Considering that the duo has previously made viewers laugh with its onscreen antics and its affable camaraderie, it remains to be seen what new they'll bring to the table this time.

Will the film be a laugh riot? Will the plot be interesting enough to keep you engaged? Will Riteish and Vivek be able to tickle your funny bone with their comic timing? Kriti Tulsiani from News18.com is inside the theater to find out.
